@JohnnyShoulder I doubt you'd be able to find one screening it, even if you wanted to.

John Wick 2 was pretty good as well. Easier to just imagine it as some sort of alternate reality where hitmen are a regular occurrence on public transport though! Maybe not quite as focused as the first one but the fighting was still great and the ending was definitely interesting.

@nessisonett I agree, I've always considered John Wick's world as an alternate reality, at least from 2 onward, anyway (too long since I first saw the first one to remember if I thought so back then).

I recently rewatched all of them before seeing 4 in IMAX and they all hold up very well, I think. Gun to my head, I would say 3 is the weakest and 4 is the strongest. I actually consider JW4 to be one of my favourite action movies of all time; easily top 5 for me.

My annual trip to the cinema was to go and watch Dungeons and Dragons. It was fine, a fun movie, nothing more and nothing less, which I'm in no rush too see again anytime soon. Some of the story beats felt a tad formulaic, and the quipy humour I began to tire by the end. It is nowhere near a vomit inducing as say Thor Love & Thunder however.

Maybe it was because the trailer for the third film was shown, but it felt like a fantasy set Guardians of the Galaxy, even down to a Drax like character who doesn't get irony or sarcasm.

Visually I thought it was very good, with it only looking a bit dodgy in a couple of minor places, weirdly when it comes to practical effects. The action scenes were excellent, especially the Dragon scene, and anything that invloves Michelle Rodriguez smashing stuff. Regé-Jean Page also has cool fight scene.

Overall I enjoyed it and it didn't feel like the 2 hour plus run time.
